Nibco, Inc. 906 1-1/2" Copper 45° DWV Elbow C x C

1-1/2" Copper DWV Elbow

This 45-degree elbow is made from wrought copper alloy C12200 and meets ASTM B75 and ASME B16.29 standards. It features a C x C sweat connection for 1-1/2 inch nominal tube with a 1-5/8 inch outside diameter. The fitting handles a maximum pressure of 5 psi across a temperature range of -20 to 400 degrees F. It is designed for drain, waste and vent piping systems.

Installers running copper DWV lines

Plumbers joining horizontal to vertical branches in soil or vent stacks will find the 45-degree angle provides smoother flow than a sharp turn. The sweat ends require flux, solder and a torch, so installers without brazing tools or those needing a press-fit or threaded joint should look at alternative connection types. The 5 psi pressure limit also rules out pressurised supply lines.

Fits 1-1/2" copper DWV pipe

The elbow slides over standard 1-1/2 inch copper tube and joins with a soldered cup-to-cup joint. It frees the layout from tight 90-degree bends that can trap debris and restrict venting. The fitting needs a clean tube end, flux and a heat source to complete the joint, and it connects directly to other C x C copper fittings without adapters.
